Anderson students enjoy St. Patrick’s Day

Anderson students have fun wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day. They learned about the history of St. Patrick’s Day and also about the importance of recycling, or "going green." Many classes read books about recycling, and others made things out of recycled items. What a fun way to learn!!
 

Anderson students “Go Green”

Students in Mrs. Jessie Warren’s class at Anderson used recycled magazine pages that they used to make into boats and bracelets, to make “GO GREEN...RECYCLE” signs and St. Patrick’s Day, March 17.
 

Students learn about the world

In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, one of the stories the Kindergarten students had recently read was, “If You Could Go to Antarctica.” Along with reading the story, students learned about the continents and the oceans. George Stokely, a student in Mrs. Nicole Henderson’s class, brought his dad to sing about Antarctica, the oceans, and the continents with his class and with Mrs. Becky Stokely’s class. What a fun way to learn!!
 

Happy reading at Anderson!

What an amazing, fun-filled day at Anderson on Friday, March 5th! Students spent the day enjoying activities that were planned in honor of Dr. Seuss’s Birthday. From beginning the day eating the famous “Green Eggs and Ham” to spending the entire day with Dr. Seuss fun, Anderson students most definitely made the most of this wonderful celebration … a celebration that included a pie in the face for Miss Cindy and Mr. Jim!

Ms. Tanya Madere’s class made Oobleck (like playdough) after reading “Bartholomew and the Oobleck.”

Mrs. Judy Deming’s class dressed up like foxes in socks to go with their story.

Mrs. Julie Carver’s class “Hears a Who!” After reading “Horton Hears a Who,” students enjoyed making their own clover with their own tiny speck on it. Their imaginations ran wild as they pretended to talk to the “who” characters living in “Who-ville” on their tiny speck!



After lunch, kindergarten students went to their fourth six weeks awards pep rally. Along with the “Cat in the Hat,” their mascot Andy gave high fives to students who make Kindergarten Kadet, Principal’s Club, or received reading, math, language, handwriting, and other awards.

Here’s the winner of this six weeks’ Principal’s Club award.
